Christine Blais @ Primecorp

January 23, 2018 @ 08:00 - March 20, 2018 @ 17:00

 

Artist Statement

In this series, I study the way light behaves as it moves through glass and nature. Using media such as acrylics, spray paint and drywall I explore the way light shimmers through windows, droplets of condensation, mist and fog. The effect rain has on our environment is transformative as the impact reaches to the depths of our minds. We are inherently connected to the elements of nature and to the atmosphere that surrounds us. Through the abstraction process I aim to capture the way light evokes our emotive states and stirs up our subconscious. These lucid moments emphasise how light moves and swings back and forth, oscillating through translucent objects and into our minds.
